Squeeze through a slot canyon

“Spooky is a very narrow slot at the end and we are just able to squeeze between the rippling walls. At many points, my butt and gut are touching opposite walls; I have to carry the backpack in front of me. Thankfully, the canyon widens towards the entrance which we exit. What fun! You can tell I'm not claustrophobic; some of our friends wouldn't be able to do this hike because it is very confining and I wondered once or twice if I might get stuck.”

“I squeeze through to a narrow section where I have to arch my back to contour to the rock wall, but it's a no-go! My feet are turned 90 degrees to my body, my right foot to the right, my left foot to the left, and with each itty bitty step I try to take, my knees complain! While I might be able to force my body through, my knees won't agree to the angles my feet are taking. I go back and try turning my feet in the same direction, but the result is the same. I go back, defeated.”

“I dropped the backpack and tripod and wonder if I could squeeze through sideways. I squeeze into the slot traveling sideways when after about 15 to 20 feet it opens up into a small chamber. I say WOW, can you believe this. The bottom is covered with a cracked dried out mud pattern. [...] I say WOW again and realize the notch has gotten slightly narrower and now I come to the point where this big old man can’t squeeze any smaller. I slither back to the chamber and think “this is really cool”.”
